No reason the Chargers can't be better. Bosa being healthy would be a start. Maybe get a couple linebackers, and some defensive tackles? They had a pretty good year themselves. Yeah I know, it's the Chargers.

We need to be much better on the lines. Same as last year. Our OL was pretty awful for the last half of the season. Our DL was mediocre-at-best against the run and completely invisible on their pass rush in some key games.

Really only had one pass rusher most of the year. Bosa wasn't fully back even in the playoffs. No linebackers of any note after Brown went down. Perryman and White were already hurt. Defensive tackles apply little pass rush. Philon does now and then. They have no real pass rushers except Bosa and Ingram, unless Nwosu (sp?) steps up. James is good at it, but they need him for other things too.

What they do have is some play makers in place with Bosa, Ingram, James, King, and Hayward all showing signs of being able to make plays when it counts. Those type of guys are the guys you need to win.

The oline was better than it has been, but these two games show you how far away the Chargers oline is from the upper echelon teams. The skill players are in place though. They can improve that area a bit, but they do have some real talent at the skill positions on offense.

You mean because he's a running QB? It's not like he's Lamar Jackson out there.

He was actually only 11th in rushing attempts per game among QBs.

So, yeah, he runs but he's not even close to the top of the league. And he's not a super risky runner like Jackson, Cam Newton, Deshaun Watson or Josh Allen, who all seem to put themselves in danger. I think Mahomes actually escapes danger, more than he puts himself in it.

Sure, he could get hurt, but you can say that about any NFL'er. If you're banking on Mahomes getting injured because he's a risky player, then I think you're going to be disappointed.
